There’s nothing that can teach us as much about life as death. Death is something we all share, but in the West, for as long as we can, we ignore death and put up walls to separate death from the land of the living. And yet it’s death that gives definition and clarity to our lives — without death, there is no life. And if we allow the reality of it into our lives, it can fuel our sense of meaning and purpose. #LifeAdvice #TBT #Mortality #Perspective

How much longer will this societal apathy continue? If it was your child, your niece, your nephew or your grandchildren who were sexually violated and assaulted …. Surely there would be nothing that you would not do to bring those responsible before the Law along with those in authority that enable this criminal offending to continue. Premier Rockliff, Roger Jaensch MP and Guy Barnett MP and all those Liberal party boffins that came before them. Labor and the Greens too…. What have you done to protect our most innocent? What are you doing now to ensure that the 191 recommendations of the tax paying funded Commission of Inquiry are implemented in full? And what of the independents including the JLN. You all lack courage and a conscience. It is simply not good enough on any level.
For all that we have seen, heard and borne witness to over the last decade of truth telling in relation to institutional child sexual abuse it beggars belief that there are those who continue to see themselves as untouchable and unaccountable. These attitudes are the very ones that should give us cause for the greatest concern. Self protection rather than the protection of children. The interests of others above the interests of children. An absence of accountability and transparency. A disregard for social responsibility taking. A total lack of compassion for the impact of one’s decisions and actions on others. It is within these organisational cultures that the abuse of children lives and hides. TODAY not yesterday. The leadership of the Christian Brothers has failed children yet again.

Agree. Measurable cultural change alongside safeguarding and child protection frameworks and practices is vital if we are to address institutional child abuse. Institutional cultures eats up the best policy and procedures every time.
For all that we have seen, heard and borne witness to over the last decade of truth telling in relation to institutional child sexual abuse it beggars belief that there are those who continue to see themselves as untouchable and unaccountable. These attitudes are the very ones that should give us cause for the greatest concern. Self protection rather than the protection of children. The interests of others above the interests of children.

Sr. Director, People Resources & Engagement at the American College of Cardiology | WATRA Board of Directors | Creator of MyBrothersRBlind Blog
We have an innate need for community and connections. When I meet people who has a sibling with a disability, there is an unspoken connection. Often, it is conveyed through a nod, a smile, or a glance. We know this unique experience shaped our character, influenced are daily actions, and impacted our perception of the world. We know of the added responsibility of being a protector, the heightened awareness when observing others respond to your sibling, and most likely have dealt with the same rollar coaster of emotions like guilt, isolation, anger, pressure, inadequacy, and occasional shame (not proud moments). And, sadly, for some, it is also experiencing the loss of their sister or brother due to their disability. We are also strong advocates for inclusivity, having witnessed the impact of exclusion. We embody empathy and compassion, and feel immense pride in our sibling for achieving things others never thought possible. We’ve embraced our unique circumstances and gleaned invaluable lessons and skills from them and have a different take on tenacity and resiliency. Having three brothers who were born blind, I have struggled with all of the above. I learned to cope quietly with my emotions and often felt alone. I didn’t have friends, partners, or a community that I could turn to who truly understood my lived experience; especially as a child and young adult. Therefore, when creating MyBrothersRBlind.com, I knew I wanted to create a supportive community and safe haven for siblings and family members alike. If you’ve lived through similar experiences and are interested in connecting or collaborating with me to help build this community, message or leave a comment below. I sincerely believe this is the beginning of something significant and I recognize that I can’t do it alone. Image is of me, with a bright blue rain jacket and scarf with grey leggings. I’m walking alone, staring at the ground. Behind me is a waterfall in Iceland. #MBRBBlog #AllyForTheBlind #Disability #Inclusivity #Community #FightingForTheBlind #LowVision

With all that is happening around us and in our society, we know the importance of ensuring that there are clear policies to support the growing needs of Black Migrants across the African Diaspora! This month Fanm Saj Inc Founder/Executive Director, Ruth Ifakemi Jeannoel joined our comrades at Black Alliance for Just Immigration, Collective Sistahood, Inc @kriphopnation for an enlightening webinar as we shine a spotlight on Mental Health and Disability Awareness Month, two important observances dedicated to raising awareness, promoting acceptance, and advocating for the rights and well-being of individuals living with mental health conditions and disabilities. Fanm Saj joins this webinar, to uplift Healing Justice practices that disrupt dehumanization and promote culturally relevant practices. We explored the intersections of mental health and disability, examining the challenges, stigma, and barriers faced by individuals navigating these experiences. We also highlighted the importance of destigmatizing conversations around mental health and disabilities, promoting access to resources and support services, and advocating for policies that advance equality and inclusion for all.
